Hey as long as he doesn't open his mouth, Flip can wrestle the other juniors all he wants.

every time he's wrestled an NJPW guy they've not put up with his dumb poo poo, so if it's 7 straight matches of them not letting him do that kip up spot, I'll allow that.

Assuming it's 16 again, there's three surprises.

Also by the way, if you're in the UK and close to Rochester and you've always wanted to see Marufuji live, NOAH are teaming up with IPW:UK to do a show there.

i honestly don't like him as a wrestler. he makes flips look boring and he literally only does flips. if he faces ospreay it'll be pretty funny to watch will ospreay vs. lovely kmart will ospreay though.

Yeah I'm fine with flippy wrestlers. I enjoy cool poo poo. But nothing Flip does looks even remotely realistic. It's literally people standing around waiting for him to flip at them.

You have a tournament that involves Kanemaru and you complain about Flip? At least Flip has something going for him (getting kicked by his opponents when he tries to show off), what does Kanemaru do other than spit alcohol before matches and exist as Despy's tag partner?

Is it worth trying to coordinate with other goons to get tickets?

If you want the best bang for your buck the riser seats will probably be cheaper than the floor seats and they're still pretty close.

I saw the APW show at the Cow Palace and while they didn't have as many floor seats as NJPW likely will, the first few rows of the risers are not too far from the ring and they're slightly elevated off the floor

I hate his entrance music more than Michael Cole's commentary.

Not a Chuckie T tweet but this gives me hope for an Okada Long Boys shirt

Edit: Just make it exactly like that incredible Blue Pants shirt from a while back, but it's the long boys instead and it says "LONG BOYS" on the back. Please NJPW I need that shirt

From last night just watch the Evil, Sanada, Naito vs KES, Suzuki match and then the Jr Tag Titles. Last week's shows didn't have anything that's a must-watch, but the Shota Umino vs Yuji Nagata match and the LIJ vs Suzuki-Gun Elimination Match (both from the show on the 14th) were good.
